actually both me and my dad went into the dealership looking for a 6spd, because we said why would we want a gay automatic on a sportscar, so we drove a 6spd to a tip back to back, and honestly the 6spd even with the porsche short shift kit really sucks.......the clutch is slightly firm for 2inches then it goes to mush with no feel, and the shifter's throw is huge.......the shifter doesnt even engage its like driving a big rig with a 3 ft tall shifter....also the gears on the 997 are super long so you can go 70 in 2nd so you would never get into 6 unless your breaking the 175 mark.....the tiptronic is amazing......it shifts super quick and with only 5 gears instead of six the car is actualy faster.....0-60 in 3.4 in the tip vs 0-60 in 3.9 with the 6 spd....

and yes fullerben the father does let me drive it, but its his baby......

and can anybody say no lag.....holy $hit it pulls at every speed!

Damn MK, that's tight! Did he trade the BMW in for the P-car?

What's your pops do?

covert747 · 10-26-2007, 02:15 PM

Damn Matt...tell your dad congrats!!! I guess we should expect to see him at the next trackday!

I could already tell at Gingerman that he was itching to be at the track himself.

That is such a ridiculously nice car. Hopefully you get a little seat time in that bad boy.

What are the specs on it?

nah he kept the bmw but the funny thing is that the day he went to go pickup the porsche he put on the seat warmer in the bmw and the seat caught on fire.........some electrical problem.......so they had to replace the whole seat in the car.....

My dad is a Stock Market Trader

TheLimitedProject · 10-26-2007, 03:00 PM

^I'm too lazy to look up HP/Tq etc. What kind of numbers does it run stock? 0-60 and 1/4 mile?

MKTURBO · 10-26-2007, 04:17 PM

480 wheel hp
502 ft-lbs torque

0-60-3.4 seconds in tiptronic
193mph top speed

14" rotors 6-piston calipers

**nandanrp** · 10-26-2007, 04:28 PM

It's 480 crank isn't it? B/c 480 whp would be like 520-530 hp.

the funny thing is that a turboback exhaust system for the 997 is anywhere from$3,500 to $5,000, but it adds major Hp.....anywhere from 50 to 100 hp
